Favourites
Favourites
What are Favourites?
Favourites are places that you go often. You can create Favourites so that you 
don’t have to enter the address every time you want to navigate there.
They don’t have to be places you like, just useful addresses.
How can I create a Favourite?
From the Main Menu, tap Add Favourite. 
You can then select the location of the Favourite from the list below.
Give your Favourite a name that is easy to remember. Your RIDER will always 
suggest a name, usually the address of the Favourite. To enter the name, just 
start typing. You don’t have to delete the suggested name. 
Note: The button Add Favourite may not be shown on the first page of the 
Main Menu. Tap the arrow to open other pages in the Main Menu.
